Agricultural Stewardship Association (ASA)

The Agricultural Stewardship Association (ASA) is a nonprofit, community-supported land conservancy dedicated to protecting local farmland and working forests from encroaching development.

Since our founding in 1990, we have helped conserve over 28,500 acres on 161 properties in Washington and Rensselaer counties in the Upper Hudson River Valley. ASA is one of the very few land trusts in New York State focused exclusively on conserving working farms and forests.

Land conserved for agricultural or forestry purposes can never be used for housing developments or commercial development.
